About Our Organization

Boy Scouts of America (BSA) Troop 997 is located in
Ashburn, Virginia and is proud to be affiliated with
St. Theresa
Catholic Church. We are a boy-run, non-denominational,
organization dedicated to instilling the principles of Boy
Scouting into all those willing to learn. Our adult
leaders act simply as advisors to the boys.

We are an active troop focused
on:

Character Development

Citizenship Training

Mental and Physical Fitness

The activities of the troop are
designed to be instructive, challenging, and fun. They fall
into three main areas:

Weekly Troop Meetings with Patrol activities

Monthly Outings

Annual Summer Camp
